List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2008 07:16:04 -0000 Hi, Xen (DomU support) has recently started its life in HEAD (FreeBSD-CURRENT). Follow this thread under freebsd-hackers: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?g8962l$q9l$1 I agree with you that we need more virtualization offerings in order to keep the [Free]BSD platform interesting for the users. I guess we'll have to push harder vendors like VMware, Sun (xVM/VirtualBox), etc. ... For VMware support, see also : http://www.rofug.ro/article.php/fbsd_as_vmware_host_vote Regards, Adrian.
